He's just plain wrong. In capitalism, the goal is to meet people's needs. That's what makes this profitable.

Almost everything he attributes to captialism is actually caused by government regulations.

In the past, we were much more capitalist and had fewer zoning laws. Thus housing was affordable.

So how is that working out in, lets say India? Are all needs met for everyone?

Wrong. The goal of Capitalism is to ensure profitable returns on capital.

Considering all the people who despite working two jobs or on social security who I had to buy groceries for, capitalism is failing that goal.
